Story of the exhibit
Sent from Finland to Noarootsi municipality as humanitarian aid. As the working pump was missing, it could not be used for fire-fighting. The bodywork was built by the Finnish coachbuilder Kiitokori OY; the pump was taken from an International 1200 (exhibit no. 045). For the last few years the vehicle has stood idle because of a clutch fault.
